What happened to Froogle?

[Jim]

I think about a year or so ago I noticed that google changed the name from froogle to simply, products. This morning, I can't even find "products" in the drop-down.

Did I miss something?

Oh shit so they moved it from the drop-down for the holidays I suppose. But still, what the hell happened to froogle?

Thus ends the name Froogle as a Google brand. It was launched in 2002, never really went anywhere, and was unceremoniously dumped

I think Google copied my business model :D
